Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Chapter 446
Although Sui Wang usually doesn't like to take care of things, he is the master of Sui Wang's mansion after all.As long as he made up his mind, many things would be settled in this way, and no one in the palace would have any objections.

Li Dai, who has objections, can only rest in peace at present, and it is exhausting to overcome the pain caused by the wound every day.In less than three days, almost all the close servants in his yard who had been reused had been replaced for a round.Princess Pei sent several concubines over because she wanted to have a baby and couldn't personally attend to her husband's illness.Among them, Yang Liuniang was known to be the most attentive to the patients, and was elected as the leader by the concubines.Although she herself was scolded and even beaten several times, she bit the bullet and survived.Concubine Pei took pity on her hard work, specially added two maids to her, rewarded her with a lot of jewelry and clothing, and promised to take her with her when she went out to the banquet in the New Year, which further established Yang Liuniang as the concubine of Li Dai's backyard. No.1 status.

But Yang Liuniang was not overjoyed about this, she just humbly thanked the mistress for her kindness.When she returned to her residence, she sat alone for a long time, not knowing what she was thinking.

Regarding the case of Li Dai's falling from a horse, Jing Zhaoyin only investigated it for a few days.

At first, he went to Sui Palace to inquire about his followers very dutifully, and learned that someone had shot a long and thin silver needle into the back of Li Dai's horse. Several followers saw it and guessed that it was the reason why the horse was startled. .Although the horse had been killed, the horse's corpse was still there, and a three-inch silver needle was dug out of the horse's buttocks, and the needle was stained with poison. Assassination.Jing Zhaoyin made a promise in front of King Sui, saying that he would find out the real culprit and give an explanation to King Sui's mansion, and then left with the silver needle and horse corpse.

But within two days, Jing Zhaoyin changed his mind and denied the existence of silver needles. He only went crazy after examining the horse's corpse and found that the horse had a sudden illness.The whole thing was that Li Dai was unlucky, and maybe the groom was also a little bit responsible, because he failed to discover the horse's illness in time, which caused his owner to fall off the horse.

King Sui knew immediately that it was the Yang family who had passed the message to Jing Zhaoyin, and Jing Zhaoyin was one step ahead of him by reporting the "investigation results" of the case to the sage.The saint also accepted what Jing Zhaoyin said, and in turn comforted his younger brother, don't be angry or sad, it is more important to let his son recover from his injuries as soon as possible.

The sage also bestowed a lot of precious medicinal materials that are effective in recovering bones and muscles, a large number of silk and satin, gold and silver jewelry, a very precious white jade Buddha statue, and several exquisitely printed Buddhist scriptures, among which there is a It was what King Sui had longed for.In addition, the sage rewarded the injured Li Dai with an additional manor, which occupies a large area, fertile land, and is located in Guanzhong.You must know that since the sage issued an edict this year to prohibit private buying and selling of farms, it has been difficult for the clan and royal family to obtain such high-quality land, not to mention that the farms bestowed by the emperor are more glorious than the bought ones.It can be said that Li Dai took advantage of it.

The sage rewarded him so generously that King Sui knew that he must know who killed his nephew, but he didn't intend to pursue it, so he could only use the property of the farm to appease the sufferer.The King of Sui could only smile wryly, pretending to be ignorant, accepted the reward, and went back to the palace to thank him, lamenting the bad luck of his eldest son, and he had to go to the temple to pray for luck when he recovered from his injury. just work.

King Sui didn't know whether the sage believed the younger brother's words, but his pretentiousness obviously won the sage's favor.His son Li Dai was recuperating at home, but his father was summoned to the palace to attend banquets one after another, it seemed that he was a holy family member.

A few days later, Li Jiu, the second son of King Sui, was promoted, and Li Lang, the third son, received a wedding gift from a sage on the day of his wedding. , It was settled on the same day, and it was very decent.

In addition, Li Dai's concubine Pei also received a generous reward from the noble concubine, allowing her to have a safe pregnancy and not have to go to the palace to thank her.Even Li Wanzhi, the head of Pingdu County, got two boxes of precious jewels and a small manor from the noble concubine. It is said that the noble concubine specially added a dowry to her when she heard that she was about to be engaged.

Almost everyone in the Sui Palace benefited.Except for Li Dai who was dissatisfied, everyone was happy.

Li Dai was even more dissatisfied with this.Even if he suffered a crime and couldn't find the culprit to take revenge due to the holy will, how many younger brothers and sisters are there among those who benefit?What have they to do with him? !Li Lang just got married, he didn't do anything, and he had to be crowned the king of the county.If he went one step further, wouldn't he have to compete with him for the position of heir king? !If the sage wants to make amends, he should give him more rewards, whether it is a farmland or a title, he is willing to ask for it, and it is even better if it is a high-ranking official.But how can this benefit be distributed to others? !

Li Dai was full of resentment, but only those around him could hear it.Yang Liuniang made a small fuss in front of him, but behind his back, she strictly forbade the West Courtyard to privately spread Li Dai's words and deeds.She also made a special trip to the East Courtyard to report the situation to the mistress, Princess Pei.

Concubine Pei looked at her seriously, and then said: "You did the right thing, and you must continue to serve the successor king carefully in the future. If there is anything else, you can come back to me immediately." Ming confidant gave Yang Sixiniang a box of gold as a reward for her.

Yang Liuniang didn't make any request, but respectfully accepted the gold, turned and left.

She knew she had chosen the right path.

Princess Pei sat alone in the room for a long time.Her confidantes comforted her one after another: "Si Wang is only talking nonsense at home because of the pain in the wound and his mood is irritable. Don't worry about it."

Concubine Pei shook her head: "You don't understand." She didn't say what the attendants didn't understand, she just asked her to send a letter to her mother.

When Li Lang held the wedding, Princess Huo Guozhang didn't rush back to Chang'an to attend, but after receiving her daughter's letter, she immediately set off and returned to Chang'an.

Zheng Wen and Zheng Yuchai hadn't seen their grandmother for a long time, and they were very happy to see Princess Huo Guochang coming.But Princess Huo Guochang only said a few gossips to them, then sent the two children away, and then walked away from the left and right, and asked her daughter very solemnly: "Have you thought about it clearly, are you really going to do the thing in the letter? You You have to know that now you and Li Dai are husband and wife, both are prosperous and both are prosperous. Even if you don't expect him to achieve anything, but if he is too incompetent, he may even hand over the position of heir to others at any time. You If the baby in my womb is a child, I will no longer be able to inherit the throne, and I can only be an ordinary clan, so it doesn't matter?!"

Concubine Pei said solemnly: "I have thought about it carefully. If he stays idle at home and guards himself from now on, the position of heir king can always be kept. The third master is already the king of the county. I found out that he has been working recently. Discussing with the concubine that he wants to set up a property outside, it can be seen that he has no intention of competing for the position of heir. If so, why should I worry about it? It is better to avoid all risks and keep the dignity of the concubine of the Sui Dynasty first!"

Princess Huo Guochang lowered her voice: "If you use medicine... now is a good time, but I'm afraid that if you don't control the dose properly, you will hurt yourself... If you have a child in your belly, it's fine. What if it's a baby?" Little lady, you may not be able to conceive again in the future. Are you sure you can gain a firm foothold in this mansion?"

Princess Pei pondered: "A Jian has always been respectful to me, so I can trust him. The eldest lady and the third lady are not good-natured. In a few years, just choose a kind and gentle family to marry. Shiro is still young, so he is good at being taught by others. , don't ask him to be outstanding, just be honest and docile, that's enough. Si Niangzi...is a smart and transparent person, but unfortunately she has the idea of ​​becoming a monk. These children are not difficult for me to deal with. As long as the Pei family is still Here, my son will be as stable as Mount Tai!"
